    Another boxer I used to like and completely disappear : Alexander 'Sasha' Bakhtin.

    An elite, classic and intelligent fighter of bantamweight division. Based in Japan. I am pretty sure that he is undefeated (I'm lazy to check boxrec right now..)

    He's just disappeared. Never heard anything about him again. Zip.

    Sergey Kobozev was a promising up and coming cruiserweight from Kostroma, Russia. He disappeared in the mid 90's in a murder that was linked to the Russian mafia.

    His career was long over though.

    Last fight in 93. Death in 2003.

    Aaron Pryor and Kirkland Laing were two sensational 80's talents prone to dissapearing completely for long period of time. Drugs ruined both mens careers.

    Too many injuries. He lost the IBF belt because he wasn't fit to compete, so he retired.

    He was a pretty solid cruiserweight with an exploitable chin. Shame he couldn't fight more often.
